۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few from among the latter. 14 On studded thrones. 15 facing one another. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 As for those of the right hand -- how (happy) those of the right hand -- 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 and spreading shade 30 near to flowing water 31 and abundant fruits, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 For the companions of the right [who are] 38
